WHAT IT DOES

What get_apps does on Shopify Graphql

AI agents call get_apps to retrieve information from Shopify Graphql without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_apps is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about installed applications without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a query operation with no destructive or financial implications. Severity is low because the information retrieved (app list) has minimal security impact compared to store configuration or customer data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_apps' and description 'Fetch installed apps for the store' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_apps safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Shopify Graphql, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_apps, this is the rule to start with:

get_apps Allowed

get_apps is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_apps": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Shopify Graphql, apply this rule, and every get_apps call is checked against it from then on.
